These easy appetizers are sweet, savory, and bacony in one bite. Baking the dates caramelizes them, perfectly complementing the smooth cream cheese and crispy bacon. The recipe is also easy to scale up for larger gatherings.
Crostini are a classic appetizer with a million variations. This version combines goat cheese with Bionaturae’s Citrus Ginger Fruit Spread and prosciutto. The tangy, sweet, and salty flavors blend beautifully on the toasted bread.
Apple bunnies are a fun Japanese method of cutting apple wedges into a bunny shape with flapping ears. They’re soaked in lemon water to prevent them from browning and give them a little zing! We’ve paired them with cheddar cheese wedges on skewers, making them an easy and kid-friendly appetizer.
This zesty and tangy dip, paired with roasted artichokes and cherry tomatoes, is an excellent start to any meal. It goes perfectly with crackers or crusty bread.
Meat pies are a beloved snack all over the world, from pasty to hujiao bing to tourtière and everything in between. These Nigerian pies boast a flaky crust and delicious savory filling with beef, vegetables, and chili peppers. They’re similar to empanadas but have fewer variations in the flavors and ingredients, though various meats may be used. Nigerian meat pies make a great accompaniment to a picnic or summer cookout. They can be prepared earlier in the day and brought to a gathering or potluck.
Tomatokeftedes are a traditional fritter from the Greek island of Santorini. They’re a great way to enjoy tomatoes this summer, paired with the flavor of fresh herbs and garlic. Tomatokeftedes are crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. We’ve paired them with a feta dipping sauce, but you could also serve with tzatziki or a vegan tzatziki since the fritters themselves are vegan.
Spanakopita is a traditional Greek spinach pie wrapped in phyllo dough, giving it a flaky, crisp, golden crust. The spinach pairs wonderfully with the feta cheese, and adding gruyere cheese adds a nutty flavor. Spanakopita makes a wonderful appetizer or side dish.
This vegan appetizer is incredibly delicious and full of fall flavors. It goes great with crackers and crusty bread.
A delicious and simple appetizer that is very eye-catching, this recipe features flaky pastry with sweet and savory lightly caramelized onions.
Fondue is delicious but not necessarily practical for a holiday appetizer. That is, until now. By making fondue inside a baked pumpkin, you’re making a well-insulated and edible vessel that requires no external heat source to keep the cheese melty. It’s cute, tasty, and practical! We used a small Long Island Cheese Pumpkin, but you can use any pumpkin or winter squash around 2-2.5 lb.
This recipe is one of the easiest appetizers you’ll find and also one of the most delicious! It’s easily scaleable, so you can make a lot or a little, depending on your crowd.
There’s been a recent internet trend that’s shaking the appetizer world, butter boards! A basic concept, it simply involves spreading butter over a cutting board and decorating it with flavorful toppings. Then your guests scrape the butter onto bread slices. That trend inspired this recipe. But instead of butter, we used a mixture of goat cheese and cream cheese for a far more flavorful spread. Paired with apricot jam, fresh fig slices, and edible flowers, it’s a feast for the eyes and sure to please!
If you love Pad Thai but don’t want noodles, this delicious fresh salad is just the thing! Crunchy veggies, sweet and sour dressing, and peanuts on top. You can use shrimp instead of chicken, or you can leave out the fish sauce and use roasted tofu or tempeh for a vegan version.
Looking for a new vegan appetizer that will wow? This dip has a delicious depth of sweet and earthy flavors, made with caramelized onions, roasted garlic, and white miso. It pairs beautifully with sesame rice crackers and microgreens.

This hummus has amazing flavor, with the nuttiness of the chickpeas and tahini perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the sweet potato.
Muhammara is a delicious sweet, savory, and slightly spicy dip from Syria. Similar to hummus, this is a wonderful vegan starter, especially paired with flatbread or veggies.
Anyone can make deviled eggs, but they’re time-consuming and predictable. Almost a deconstructed deviled egg, this recipe combines a delicious paprika aioli (fancy mayo) with smoked salmon and a not-quite-hard-boiled egg. They look incredibly fancy but take almost no time to assemble. If you’re in a hurry, you can use good quality mayo instead of making the aioli from scratch. Just add the mustard, paprika, salt, garlic, and cayenne to a cup of mayo. But making it from scratch will make the best result!
Flaky pastry wrapped around spinach and cheese, the perfect appetizer for hungry guests! They’re easy to make, and everyone will want to know your recipe.

Who doesn’t love pot-sticker-style dumplings? This recipe makes it easy to make dumplings from scratch, wrappers and all. You can either make them with a pork filling or a vegan filling made with tofu and veggies. If you want to try both, you can make half batches of each filling.
When you’re busily cooking a big holiday meal, the last thing you want to do is take up room in the oven or on the stovetop with appetizers. That’s why we love this recipe for sweet and spicy cranberry meatballs. They’re done in the slow cooker, which means that not only can you set them up early in the morning with ease, but you’re not taking up any precious space!
It’s great to use packaged appetizers, like hummus, on a busy holiday. But, you can still easily dress them up to take pre-made to the next level! This recipe is quick and easy. You can even roast the chickpeas the day before to save time.
Pie wheels are excellent finger food, delicious, and satisfying. If you’re already making pies, you can easily add in these appetizers by making a couple of extra doughs. They can be made the day before your gathering.
